Gottlieb - Surfer in SA

[swinks]

Here is a surfer for sale though when you read the description you have to wonder:
- one owner since new but doesn't seem to know much about it.
- not mucked around with, nor been in a business but it has no lock and a padlock bracket on it.
- doesn't have scratches or chips but has graffiti engraved in it

and asking a starting bid of $1500.....

Looks like the backglass is nice and the playfield looks ok too.
Not sure if anyone will take the first bid of $1500 though.
If it had a starting bid of $500 it might get close to $1500, hard to know, Ebay can be unpredictable.

It has the standard wear near the kick out and up the centre along the insert edges.

  doesn't have chips or scratched but has grafitti engraved in it.  To me that would mean it's scratched unless they paid a proffesional to engrave some grafitti on the side

definitely operated. Coin door padlock is a dead give away and also the "asset number" is labelled on apron (the shooter guage).

Also mylared. No home machine should need mylar !

Looks as though the spinner has been 'mucked around with' !
